CON: control; LCLA: low conjugated linoleic acid; HCLA: high conjugated linoleic acid. 1Premixes contributed the following nutrients per kilogram of complete feed: vitamin A, 2300 IU; vitamin D3, 400 IU; vitamin E, 1.8 mg; vitamin B12, 3.5 mg; riboflavin, 1.4 mg; pantothenic acid, 2 mg; nicotinic acid, 7 mg; pyridoxine, 0.25 mg; folic acid, 0.15 mg; menadione, 0.3 mg; thiamin, 0.15 mg; manganese oxide, 35 mg; ferrous sulfate, 35 mg; zinc oxide, 30 mg; copper sulfate, 60 mg; cobalt carbonate, 5 mg; potassium iodine, 0.6 mg; selenium vanadate, 0.09 mg. CLA used in this study was Lutrell pure, BASF, Germany, which contained 60% of both CLA isomers. Dietary inclusion of CLA 5% and 2.5% will be equal to 3.0% and 1.5% of both CLA isomers respectively. 2Calculated values. |
